Hector Bellerin – Far more adventurous than in the first-leg, getting forward and supporting the rampant Walcott well on the overlap. Was committed to the tackle throughout, keeping Ribery and the dangerous Alaba at bay, and continued to drive Arsenal forward even with one less man. 7.

Shkodran Mustafi – Played a sublime through ball to Walcott who should have tested Neuer from close range, and made numerous key headed clearances during the first-half. Left isolated in the second-half as Koscielny was dismissed, unable to cope with the relentless Bayern pressure and he crumbled. 6.

Laurent Koscielny – It was his substitution in Munich that caused the floodgates to open and after a composed first-half performance it was yet another early bath for a clumsy push on Lewandowski. The resulting penalty was put away to all but end Arsenal’s tiny hopes of a huge comeback. 4.

Nacho Monreal – Failed to learn from Arsenal’s first-leg mistakes and was guilty of allowing Robben the chance to cut inside on numerous occasions, and was fortunate the Dutchman didn’t capitalise. Found it hard to cope with the overlapping Rafinha and was outnumbered, simply giving up in the end. 5.
